Stablon is an interesting molecule, used acutely at recommended dosages, it can certainly reduce some symptoms of depression, yet it leaves a subjective feeling that "something is missing". Moreover taken over time, apathy can set in, though interestingly enough on discontinuation a "rebound more tangible AD effect can be experienced for a few days. Recently I ran an experiment whereby the 3x12.5mg dose per day was divided into every two hour doses of 3-4mg ( splitting the tabs in 4 , can be done using a blunt paper cutter) There was less of a see-saw effect and little to no sleep anomalies.
It combines nicely with Benzo's, but the latter is so dependence inducing , it's best avoided , except for those in desperate need.
